Sally, oh my. Let's not get worried. This is not anything personal or anything. Everything here is just a game, we know you are ill.

Okay, I think the voting is here. I could vote either Mac or Sally, I am going for the first one, also because in this rush I cannot seem to be able to analyse anything and this Sally's shout just startled me.

++Mac

EDIT: x-ed with everyone since my post

Shoot. I'm late. I'm late. But not for an important date.
Just can't stay away. Where are the rest of the votes, anyway?

Farael has just left Hobbiton.
SILENCE!

As I said before, any votes after the deadline, going by the timestamps on the posts, will not count. Sorry Mac but that means you are the one
-------------------------------------------------
Day 2 came and went, and the adventurers seemed to be divided on two main camps.
“It’s either Rikae or Mac” said some

“No, that makes no sense!” Said... Rikae and Mac.

“Well, I think Mac should be a goner anyway” said Nerwen

“Huh? Sure, whatever” agreed Greenie

“Yeah, that’s something I can agree with” added Legate

“ZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz” Was heard

“Actually, Nerwen looks fishier to me, she gets my vote” Said Rikae

“That’s a start... who’s left to vote? Oh, McCabe... darnit man, wake up!” Mac shook the
man, but he was fast asleep. “Water!” he said “We need water to... no, there’s no water here... maybe if I”

uh.... Ner..when...” said McCaber without quite waking up.

Nerwen! he voted for her, and I agree, which means that I’m...oh boy” Then Macalaure noticed the grins on the other adventurers’ faces. “I can explain... Rikae makes sense and I...” but no-one heard what he wanted to say. Nogrod had been passing out torches and pitchforks (where he got them from no-one cared to ask about) and before the lynchee of the day could react, they fell upon him like so many moths on one of those electric bug zappers.

“Hey, he’s not turning into a Werewolf!” said Gwath

“Don’t worry lad, keep on lynchin’ he’s still alive” said a voice

“yeah, shouldn’t have he turned into his werewolf form by now?” asked Sally

“No, no... you keep on going and see”

Eventually it was plain that Mac was way past the point where he could’ve turned into a Werewolf. “Who was the one telling us to keep hitting poor Mac? He was such a good soul”

Legate” answered Rikae “you were one of the voters for him.. .my lover... now, I will wither too”

“Really?” Asked Nerwen
“No, but it was worth to see your faces”

And then blackness fell upon them and they knew no more.

Aganzir: Squished into non-existance inside a d2
Loomy: May not be dead, but she's sure too far from the game to be of much help
Macalaure: Lynched old-fashion way

The tally
Three Werewolves
One Seer

The announcement: There are no secret roles. This is not a bluff. Also, the narrations mean nothing, there are no hints in there.

Alright, everyone, I'm not sure what happened to Farael. He may have left early for his trip, but he never sent me a message so I didn't realize there wasn't anything up till now.

I'm going to to start the day now, and extend it five hours (meaning it will be two hours short and Night will also be five hours short).

EDIT: My stupid clock is three hours fast. So we'll be ending three hours late toDay. That's 10 AM Pacific and 6 PM GMT. The next day will start at the original time.

Sorry for the miscommunication everyone. I'll post a narration in a little bit.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Menel twisted and turned in the throws of a Dream. He awoke suddenly and pulled out his journal to chronicle it carefully. He always chronicled his dreams, just in case. A sudden noise to his left caused him to start, but it was only another player turning over in their sleep. Menel sighed, closed his book and stood to seek out a more private area. He came upon a tunnel. "Strange, that wasn't there before," mused Menel, and he decided to look into it. He heard rustling, the sound of sharpening claws, and a low chuckling. They all seemed to be coming from with in the tunnel, but before he could back up and turn around, he felt a furry hand on his shoulder. "You've dreamed your last dream, Seer," said an all too familiar voice, and he was shoved forward into the tunnel.

In another place far from there, the GM sat staring at a roughly drawn map of the cave. He'd wanted to add a tunnel on the side for fun, but couldn't decide how to end it. Frustrated, he erased the whole thing and redrew the wall of the cave.

The wolves stared at the place where Menel and the hole had been just seconds ago. Then looked at each other, shrugged, and went back to bed. Menel was not seen again.

That must mean Menel was the Seer....

I suppose now one must wonder just why he was so adamantly against Rikae.

Of course, he was against Mac as well, but not as much, I think...

I suppose it's possible that Menel had dreamed about Rikae? Should we assume that he was right about all those he accused?

Oh my!

And even if this sounds like a hindsight I must say I guessed that.

So he dreamt of me on Night1 and of Rikae on Night2. Please follow why I think that is.

On Day1 he thought I should not be lynched - even if I wasn't actually in any danger of being lynched at that time. And later the Day he referred to me alongside him and seemed to rely on my judgements (as he knew I am innocent) taking them as parts of his arguments. About others he said Rikae and Mac were his suspects but with both of those he made still some reservations. And there was a slight suspicious comment about Shasta to be sure but he never came back to it.

Starting Day2 we have this (after the apology for not voting):

I'm even more suspicious of her now than before, come to think of it.
And after that Menel seemed quite assured of his crusade against Rikae. So he had dreamt of her that Night.

This last one kind of nails it for Rikae:

That's too tough language to an ordo, even to a Menel-ordo.

I know I'm dead the next Night after we lynch Rikae as a wolf toDay. And sadly my day (RL) is the worst possible for playing werewolf. I have an early morning call and even if the Day is stretched because of the late start I may have trouble getting too much time online toDay.

EDIT: X'd from Rikae's first post onwards...
